I've heard that using rose water to rinse your hair with can make it really soft, but do other flowers work in the same way or is it just roses?

I like to use orange flower water. I just put it in a spray bottle and spray some on my hair from time to time.

You can use any flower water you like or even make tea with some dried lavender, rose petals, whatever flowers you would like.

1 teaspoon dried flowers crushed or ground
1 cup just off boiling water

Let steep until cool. Use as a rinse or whatever you like. Keep in fridge if not used that day.

You can also put dried flowers or any herbs in apple cider/white vinegar. Just drop some in and shake the bottle daily. Strain before using or not - I usually don't. This doesn't have to be refrigerated. I use it like an ordinary ACV rinse - 1 tablespoon to a liter of water.
